Hi there,
Looking to buy a Surly Long Haul Trucker FRAME, preferably 58cm and with 26" wheels...If you got one, hit me up!

Thanks,
Max

I have a pair of oury grips in purple. Bought these a while ago, put them on some handlebars but never used them. The condition is therefore as new. Price = £8
I wont post these. Collection either somewhere close to Liverpool or Holborn underground stations.

These here but without the bag or sticker...

hey

so i've got an old raleigh dawn roadster (bought on here) which was running smoothly until about the gears no longer worked. As I dont mind using one gear I left it and it had been working fine. Few days ago however it made some gruesome noises and packed in. Brought it to my local bike shop and they tell me the sturmey archer hub is bust. A hub is hard to get hold of and would require building it to the wheel at a cost of around £100+. So the cheapest option ended up being buying a new wheel with a single freewheel cog - £65.
Question for you... is this my best option? Does anyone maybe have a complete raleigh 26" wheel with 3speed hub for sale?! Are the prices reasonable?

appreciate your advice!!!!!

Thanks for all the advice!!

If I had a bit of time and some tools I would have a crack at it but just need to get it fixed asap.

I'll give LMNH a call and see what they say... have a feeling I will need some parts and not sure if they would have them.

I really just need some old mans bike shop, no frills.

Platini - I live in uni halls by spitalfields.

lynx - Unfortunately I have no idea how these hubs work so finding it hard to figure out what exactly went wrong. The metal cylinder itself is lose, there is a lot of friction when turning the wheel and its running as though it were fixed (back wheel turns as pedals do). That is all I know!

hartxander & bodie- thanks ill check out BLB but I imagine 14 would be too expensive.

Hey

I'm a proud owner of a 60s Raleigh Dawn Roadster but it seems that my 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub has died on me. Not an expert with a bike like this but the hub has come lose and the back + front cogs seem to be working like a fixed but with a lot of friction (I realise that makes little sense).

Anyway, I cant afford to get the tube/bus to uni so am in need of a bike workshop somewhat close to liverpool street station / brick lane area. Anyone have any suggestion? Somewhere cheap and easy? Help is much appreciated.

Still searching!

el diable... was kind of set on black but i've sent you a pm! Thanks

hey gma, sounds interesting! I am not in london until next monday. Price might be a little steep but maybe some pics could change my mind:) so if you could please send pics! I'll pm you my email.

Looking for a classic mens dutch bike (i'm 6 1"). Black. Nothing new. Rather something I don't have to worry all too much about. I have around £200 to spend. Will be living in london from next week. Thanks for any help!

Title says it all really, i've got a left hand white goldfinger with black lever in v.good condition - no marks or anything. Looking for either an all black one or black and purple.

cheers

second on the mks pedals...

Black crank set with chainring, somewhere around 42-46t (£35)

still looking, increased my budget a little bit...

Hello tour,

thanks for the kind offer. It's a nice bike you've got there but unfortunately im not so keen on the frame. Good luck with the sale.

So im still looking, for anyone out there.....

Hey,

I'm looking for a single speed bike which can be delivered to Southampton. As it's going to be my first single speed i'm open minded with regards to specs, only needs to fit me (i'm 6' 1") and I would prefer not to have a white or black frame. Anything else which I dont like I can modify myself.

Price can be up to around £200-£250 including postage.

I like to take care of my stuff, especially bikes, so it will find a good home!

email me at mg2v07@soton.ac.uk or maxgw88@googlemail.com if you have something or know of someone else selling their bike (yes, I have heard of ebay and the for sale section but i thought id also post a wanted thread:)

cheers,
max

is it 24hours from account activation or from the creation of the account? I like the idea of the nursery, wish more forums would adopt it.

done!

hello hello

Found this forum a couple of weeks ago. Been lurking ever since. I used to ride downhill a few years ago but since uni ive not been riding much at all. Looking to get into fixed gear/single speed riding now so I guess this is the right place for me. Anyone know of any good bike shops in Southampton? Also, im on the lookout for a single speed setup for around £200, so if anyone has anything nice then please get in touch.
